Massive astrophysical objects governed by subatomic equation

4. Because the Schrdinger-equation stems from radically different origins.

The Schrödinger-equation is a Hamiltonian equation where the momentum-variable has been modified to account for particle-wave-duality. And the solutions of this modified Hamiltonian equation are certain Eigenvalues and Eigenfunctions that tell you how your system behaves.



On second thought:
Batygin's work suggests that large-scale warps in astrophysical disks behave similarly to particles, and the propagation of warps within the disk material can be described by the same mathematics used to describe the behavior of a single quantum particle if it were bouncing back and forth between the inner and outer edges of the disk.

This reminds me of pseudo-particles in a solid-state body.
